Anybody know of any good meta on Starbuck?

I just saw some Lee/Kara stuff over on ship_manifesto, but didn't actually read it. That that comm tends to have lots and lots of 'shipper essays that eventually turn up some good meta commentary now and then, though only in the context of pairings. I swear there was a community solely for essays on singular characters, but I forget what it is.

I've got about a metric ton of Kara meta in my head, for all the good that does anyone!

Hahaha, me too probably.

And yeah I'm really not interested in the ship manifesto aspect of it. I've read one (which is probably in my mems) about Kara and all her men which I kind of like because I'm not an OTP shipper and I like each of her relationships.

It's sort of for a friend. So often, others have the ability to say what I can't about a character. And I'm trying to explain to him, why I like Starbuck so much. He's about 4 or 5 eps into season 2 and he still doesn't really like her. Wait wait, he says he respects her, but he doesn't like her. LOL.

Well, give him time! I didn't love Starbuck til about a month after I finished watching Season 3, honestly, and I didn't much care for her at all in the miniseries, but now she's probably in my top three favorite characters of all time. Sometimes these things just have to hit you like lightning.

Holy crap, really? Wow. That's a giant leap there. From not liking her to the top 3. I think she started as a character I loved, and grew into what is probably my favorite fictional character of all time.

But... I dunno. He did say he hates it whenever she talks, lmao. So that can't be good.

I'll still look around, see what I can see, give him the condensed version so as not to spoil him, haha.

I never hated her, though yeah, I was largely indifferent. She had moments that I loved but she wasn't a favorite til after Season 3 ended and I realized it was her story I desperately wanted to see finished, more than any of the others.

But, aw. My SO hated her, too. :(

*clings to hope*

Maybe today's countdown will be me asking everyone what they think of Starbuck... I can prepare a mini-meta of my own to go along with it. (And hopefully it doesn't come out as mental vomit.) And maybe ask for other opinions? Oh gosh, I'm so self-serving. Hahaha.

Oh, Warren. *tuts*

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yeah. He's gonna drive me to drink I tell ya!

Ha! Then you can be like Tigh :) Oh yeah, I know their names.

...what happened to your custom layout on your comment replies? I'm getting the default white layout over here.

I disabled them for a little while because it was getting slightly impossible to manage the comments over at the post I made about that Joss meta. I'll turn them back on probably later today. I think the discussion has pretty much died down now.

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Gottttttcha.

Yeah, even mine went a little crazy for a while *lol* I was kinda surprised!

It's a hot topic!

wisteria_ and daybreak777 are both good for Kara meta. Alanna is kind enough to organize her meta by tags.
